Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Beckham Overwhelmingly Defeated Nicholas

"I surrender, Beck," Nicholas folded his hands together and bowed to Beckham. "I'm not going to pull pranks on you again, and neither can you do that to me, okay?"

Nicholas was on the verge of bowing to kowtow to Beckham.

He was now a nobody in this house.

Andrew and Brielle had long desired a loving daughter, but they were forced to give up due to health issues.

Nicholas’ status in the family had already slipped a bit before they acknowledged Florence as their goddaughter. And his situation deteriorated once Beckham arrived.

He even pulled a prank on Beckham. Those toads didn't frighten Beckham, but they almost killed him.

"Nicholas, we men can't be that spineless," Beckham cupped his face, gently touching his cheek with a lighthearted grin.

Nicholas was rendered speechless.

"Nicholas, you are in your twenties and behave like a good-for-nothing and always stay at home, don’t you feel ashamed?" Beckham preached.

Nicholas had become speechless. His chest swelled with annoyance, but it quickly dissipated.

Because Beckham was telling the truth.

He grew up with the freedom to have anything he loved and was indulged by his family. He was arrogant and never took anybody seriously, and no one dared to teach him; on the other hand, everyone sucked up to him.

He was taught by a little child after living for more than 20 years.

"Who said I was a good-for-nothing?" asked Nicholas who still had his own pride.

He couldn't hold his cool when he heard Beckham's disrespectful comments, "It’s just that I don't have the chance to display my skills."

"Nicholas, I am four and a half years old, not three," Beckham sneered. "Is it appropriate to deceive a child?"

"How could I deceive you," said Nicholas." I have a master's degree and can speak three languages fluently."

"Was the degree bought? Your mom and dad work so hard while you are idle at home. You only know how to have fun, shame on you," Beckham said.

Nicholas was speechless again.

His degree was indeed purchased.

"My family has so much wealth that it will not be squandered over even if I spend it for a lifetime." What more is there for me to do than have a good time in this situation?"

"What a shame."

...

Florence intended to see Beckham in the middle of the night, but she overheard Nicholas and Beckham talk at the door.

Florence intended to walk inside to stop Beckham from bothering Nicholas again, but someone abruptly tugged her arm.

Brielle was the one.

"Godmother."

Brielle shook her head and motioned for Florence to speak for a while.

Since moving into the Coopers’ mansion, Andrew and Brielle had been extremely kind to Florence and Beckham. But Florence didn’t know the conflicts between Beckham and Nicholas.

Nicholas was often made fun of by Beckham who was very clever and had many naughty ideas.

It was not difficult to find that Beckham had pranked Nicholas, but Brielle and Andrew never mentioned it and instead continued to indulge Beckham.

Florence was confused.

"Godmother, I'm so sorry that Beckham has been so mischievous," Florence apologized.

"I know what you want to say, Florrie," Brielle chuckled. “We adore Beck because he is intelligent and wise. Do you know why even though I am aware of the problems between him and Nicholas, I don’t intend to intervene?"

Florence shook her head.
